Took a while to get to this but here is Dave’s video clip of Mark’s wicked cool burnout in front of Rascal’s during the Harley 105th.

Just finished talking with Ed Begley Jr. at an Ebike demo In Las Vegas. Ed has been an electric vehicle advocate since 1970 or so and currently rides an iZip electric assisted bicycle. Lots of talk about how to become an advocate for this type of bike. We are looking for a way to work [...]

Frick-n-frack! This place is a den of iiniquity. Temptations abound but iron will pushes temptation out the door; at least at Club Paradise!

Met Lee from Decorah and Ron from Rochfester. Proceded to a better dive bar than the Double Down. The latter now being a franchise looses that status!
Met many cycling luminaries along The Strip and at TI.
Arrived back at Terrible’s 2AM. Nicy-nice!
Feeling more chipper than I have a right to but the show beckons.
On to B-fast.

Flying Frontier right now somewhere over Nebraska.
I missed last year’s show and am looking forward to seeing some folks I haven’t seen for a while. The people in the bike industry are some of the most interesting I’ve met and I always come back from a show energized and enthusiastic.just have to make sure to [...]

I finally got pix from a couple of Superweek races, The Downer Ave. Criterium and The Whitefish Bay Criterium uploaded to Flickr as well as a bunch of shots at the WORS Mountain Bike Race at Crystal Ridge.

I did a bunch of work to get the Schlick Cycles website for the Shark upgraded to a Wordpress powered deal, redid a bunch of content and finally got some photos up. More work on the theme and some graphics stuff to go but the main content is there.
We are expecting our debut in Playboy [...]

I posted a bunch of photos to Flickr that I took at the Whitefish Bay Classic, a part of the 2007 Point Premium Root Beer International Cycling Classic that took place July 13-29, 2007.

A couple of Fridays ago John Schlick and I made a trip down to Chicago to Playboy’s corporate office to do a photo shoot with the Schlick Shark. It was great to see such a famous studio and meet the guys behind the lenses. These are the same guys who shoot all the lovely women [...]

March looks like it will be slower than I planned but that is a good thing. I need to work more on the cool and hip ride that is the Schlick Shark. The Shark is a revolutionary bicycle, designed by my friend John Schlick, that combines great looks with the ability to fit a wide [...]

Well, to get back into biking, and because I think they look really fun, I am building a pump track in the backyard.
I had an R/C mini stadiumcross truck track that my daughter and I used that is going to form the basis. A side benefit is that we will still be able to use [...]

I started working with John Schlick, a Milwaukee area computer programmer, who invented a new take on the bicycle. We are just getting started but I am really excited about the design. It rides great and addresses some biking issues that have kind of sidelined me as bike rider for the past few years.
The Schlick [...]
